Best centella asiatica product you'll ever try, if you're like me and the skin1004 centella ampoule did nothing for you this is going to be your holy grail because God this is just so much better. My redness has never beenn calmed and soothed like that before whatttt. Mixsoon uses a slower and more expensive way to extract from the plant so that's really why this product is just so serendipity, Show more
So your probably here to compare this with the skin1004 centella ampoule and I will just say that for me both worked and I loved them both 🤷♀️😅. However some differences first off viscosity of the product this one is a lot more thicker (though it’s still water like!), this one also has a slight scent it’s earthy but very very light and can only smell it if your sniffing the bottle 🤣, this has the Show more

saw no difference in my skin, but it wasn't irritating. wouldn't recommend cuz it literally did nothing... no help with acne, irritation, or hydration.
I bought this expecting it to be soothing and calming for my skin, but I don't think it helped at all in that aspect. This does feel nice and hydrating, but it didn't help with my active breakouts at all and it may have even worsened them.
Update: I ended up giving it away because it was definitely not working with my skin, I think it clogged my pores. However, the friend I gave it to loves it! Show more
